I've created http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Improving_Foundation-l for brainstorming of how to make this list a little bit less of a cesspool. Please feel free to ignore the initial thoughts I banged out as a starting point and refactor as you will. If there's consensus on a better model, I'll happily implement it; even if there isn't, at least getting more people's thoughts on the matter is a start.
Let's try something different: As a list moderator, make a working group to make a proposal (ask foundation-l participants to join you and make some selection). When your group make a proposal, put it on public discussion. And after changing the proposal according to reasonable suggestions, implement it. I think that three months are enough for this task.
Without any model, all of us may talk about everything: Tim suggested forum, I would suggest that we should wait until Google Wave becomes reality. And we may continue to talk about everything endlessly.
At the other side, I think that the vast majority of us would be happy with some user-friendly, free speech-friendly and workable solution.
